Christabel's Pov
After my embarrassing encounter outside the kitchen, Maylene silently led the way to the room that I would be in. Just so you know, we will be having separate rooms. One for Maylene and one for me.
As we were walking around the flights of stairs to reach the destination we are heading for, my eyes scanned around the walls, floor and ceiling.
The floor was made out of a type of marble floor. It is a creamy peach colour and the walls are decorated with paintings. There was one that really caught my attention and I even stop dead on my tracks just to take a closer look at it.
In the picture, there was a couple. A beautiful lady dressed in purple, sitting on a chair and a handsome gentleman standing beside that lady.
"They are young masters parents, yes! Don't they look perfect for each other?" Maylene suddenly spoke, making me jump a little.
I just nodded my head, taking one last glance at the painting before I caught up with Maylene.
What happened to them or more exactly, where are they? Maybe their on a business trip or something. I thought to myself.
Maybe Cie- Young Master's, I mean, parents think that he is independent enough to be left alone at this monstrous house with just a few servants.
I suddenly felt curious and wanted to ask Maylene so that I can clear my doubt but she was a second faster than me and she spoke, even before I had the chance to say a word.
"Here's the room you will be staying in. I hope you like how decorations are placed and all, yes! It might be a little small but it is comfy, yes it is! I will fetch you some clothings so that you can wear them and meet the others later on! Take your time and make yourself at home!" Chirped the awfully cheerful woman as she retreated and closed the door for me.
I'll just ask her later at night when we are about to turn in I guess, since there is no time to ask her now when she is practically running all over the place.
I stood behind the door, eyes darting to every corner of the room as I surveyed the area.
I must say it looks real comfy and cosy, just like Maylene said it would be! The room is just like the size of my room and it is quite big.
The walls are painted creamy white and the floor is just the same as the other floors here. Smooth and slippery marble floor.
There is a double-sized bed enough for two and two small tables at each side the bed, one with a lamp and one that looks more like a drawer.
At the left side of the wall, there's a big, rectangle window there and behind the window, there's a desk and a chair provided. Just the thing that can ease my boredness.
Beside the window, there is a wardrobe that is near the bed and it is most probably empty. Maybe I would open it later before I get to bed.
I suddenly smiled sinisterly to myself as I rubbed my hands together. I then threw my bag onto the bed, together with myself.
I started to do the action of making a snow angel on the bed and I lightly giggled to myself, thinking about why I am so childish even when I am counted as an adult already.
I stopped after awhile and I sighed, looking up at the ceiling before the grin on my face fell. I feel tears brewing in my eyes as my vision blurred a little. I didn't bother to wipe it off, instead, I let it roll down my eyes as I opened them.
I just can't forget about my family, no matter how hard I tried to distract myself from thinking about them. I wonder how they would react, seeing me disappear into thin air without notice.
Oh wait, I just remembered that I'm not me... Just what in the shitty world is happening to my almost perfect life? Why can't I just get the job I wanted, slack with Allio at home, play with my little sister and have quality time with Alfrend? I shouldn't have went for the interview, because maybe if I didn't catch Alfrend red-handed, he might continue to stay by me! He might I guess.
Finally sitting up on the bed, crossed legged, I wiped the uselessly shed tears with my index finger.
I picked my bag up from my side and dug into it. There I found a few things that made me smile a little. My mobile phone, my mirror-comb, my sheets of empty papers with drawings and writings on some, my wallet, the clothings I wore when I went for the interview, a small key chain of wood carved into a bunny shape, charger for my phone and my water bottle.
Don't ask me why I brought my charger out. I just have the habit to do that. Don't judge me!
I then glance at the desk once more before I decided to put my bag on the chair and then, I plopped myself on the bed again.
A few seconds after I plop myself on the bed, there was a soft knock on the room's door.
"Christabel? It's me, Maylene! I brought the clothings for you, yes! Can I come in?"
I sat up from the bed and tidied my tangled hair a little before calling her in.
A few seconds of awkward silence passed by and I sweatdropped.
"Erm... Could you lend me a hand? Could you help me open the door? It would help a lot, yes it will!" She said with an awkward tone.
I walked towards the door and turned the knob, asking her at the same time while doing so.
"Just what are you holding in your hands? I thought that it was just the outfit I am..."
I opened the door and immediately stared at her.
"... Su... Supp.. Pose to wear..." I completed my sentence jerkily, my eyes widening when they landed on Maylene. Well, supposingly Maylene as I guessed by hearing her voice from behind the ridiculously amount of clothings.
I took away a few sets of identical clothings from Maylene's pile and carried them.
Damn are they heavy for clothings! It's heavy for just a few sets of clothings. I wonder how Maylene managed to carry so much by herself! Well, she is quite a klutz.
I quickly made way for Maylene and placed the clothings onto my bed. I turned over, having the intention of helping Maylene with the clothes and instead of helping, both of us created a huge mess! When I turned over, my forehead accidently bumped real hard onto hers. She lost her balance she had a minute ago and fell with her hands flittering up in the air! The clothings were still in her hands but she kept swaying, from left to right.
I fell with my butt glued on the ground, letting out a soft yelp and then rubbed my poor, injured bum.
"M... Maylene! Don't, don't! Don't fall!" I stammered with fear, and just after saying that, Maylene fell.
"Don't-" I continued with my voice squeaky and my eyes widely opened.
She dropped the clothings onto me and she lay flat onto of the pile of clothes.
"Faw on be..."(Fall on me...) I continued, but apparently, she did the opposite of what I wanted her to do. Darn, just, damn it!
I started to loose the air in my lungs and I couldn't breath at all! I struggled and tried to move, but all the clothings pressed against me limited my movement. My lungs burned like it was paper and the lack of oxygen in my head made me feel like vomiting.
I feel my soul leaving my body slowly, as I desperately and inwardly screamed my head off.
I am dying! I can feel it, me dying super slowly inside, little by little. I can't feel my limbs at all, not that I have the strength to move them anyway.
I suddenly felt a weird sensation within me, as though my soul was getting sucked into another place where I would be... Peaceful.
That sensation makes me feel like my soul is able to get back to the era I am supposingly born at!
The weird sensation immediately left me when a huge amount of fresh air entered my lungs, soothing the fire in it and before I realise anything, I was gasping like a fish out of a pond. I coughed and during that entire period, my eyes were shut tight.
"A... Are you okay! Christabel!" A familiar voice sounded out. My eyes needed to rest and my body didn't listen to any of my commands to move any of the muscles I have within me.
"She'll be fine soon. Let her rest for today."
That voice... Humm, oh! It's Seb! Did he save me? Well, I guess I owe him this time. If not for him, I might be dead already!
I heard him ordering the others out of my room and soon, the room fell silent.
I clearly knew that I was conscious, just that I look unconscious to the others.
He sighed, muttering 'What a bothersome lady.' and I felt myself being lifted off the hard marble floor.
I suddenly had the strength to squint my eyes open a little and I got a peep of Sebastian's expressionless face.
"Thank... You..." I whispered hoarsely as I slowly feel a rush of fatigue hit me, sending me towards dreamland and when he placed me on the springy bed. It was a little too sudden though, and it was as though a sleeping spell was cast on me.
I was almost out but it was not before I heard or imagined him say something before leaving.
"Rest well."
O.O.o.o.O.O.o.o.O.O
For the rest of the day, I was engulfed in a dreamless sleep. Nothing really woke me up fully, but I remember hearing a scream from some random guy that screamed with such fear and agony.
Maybe it was my dream again. Maybe, but then again, I just cannot imagine it as a real person screaming like that in the middle of the night. Reasons?
1. The mansion is practically in the middle of nowhere.
2. That person must be sleep-walking and he ended up here. Then he had a super-scary-and-terrible nightmare while sleep-walking and screamed.
3. He might have heard Sebastian's lecture! The one he gave me this afternoon... I thought at that period, I was never going to get out alive! This option must be the right one. *Shivers at the thought of Seb, happily lecturing away...*
I tossed a little at the disturbing scream before falling asleep again. It is definitely nothing to be alarmed, I'm sure...
Normal Pov
After Sebastian got rid of the visitor with a 'surprise' that he would never forget for the rest of his life, he went to the study room to inform his master that he completed the task assigned to him.
Knock, Knock!
A very soft and muffled 'Come in' was heard from the other side of the door and a normal human being would have difficulty hearing that muffle, unless... You are a demon with sharp hearing, just like our lovely butler, Sebastian.
"Young master, I have completed the task of 'specially treating' our guest for tonight. Is there any other thing that you would need me to accomplish?"
Ciel looked up from the work that he was checking through and then, he closed both his eyes, the one behind the pirate patch and the one that is exposed to the surroundings. He rested his chin on both his hands and he put on a serious expression on his face.
"There is one more thing I need you to do. Find out... Who, exactly is that person? Find out her background and report it to me at once when you receive any information."
Sebastian paused for a second, before his lips turned into a little smirk. That type of smirk could go unnoticed if one is not really concentrating. Obviously, the smirk didn't go unnoticed by the observant young earl.
"Young master, may you specify who that person is? I am afraid I cannot proceed to do anything if that's the case."
Ciel sighed with a hint of irritation and a tick mark could be seen on his forehead.
"Find out about Christabel's background. Until you find the information about her, she is a danger to me and my estate. She might be an enemy against the Phantomhive that sneaked in to attack us so don't let your guard down around her."
Sebastian gave Ciel a very sadist smirk before kneeing on one knee, with his hand across his heart.
"Yes, my lord."
